This is one of my all-time favorites from Usborne!!

What A Wonderful Word - a collection of untranslatable words from around the world.

It's THE perfect coffee table book! I love looking through it. There are some very interesting and slightly funny and relatable words in here. It really is so fun to look at.

It is currently a beautiful, sunshiny, snowy day here BUT it's -22° that feels like -42° 😬😨
So, I feel this word describes today well 😆

It's been a minute since I posted on this page. Even if I am not super active on this page, feel free to message me with any questions about Usborne books or any other books that I've posted about and I'd be happy to help you.

These are some phonics books that we love. They have super cute and silly stories in them that both my kids and I enjoy. When my kids are able to read, I know they will be fun in a whole new way!

Whether you are looking for some short stories to add ton your read-aloud time or you are needing some books for your young reader, these are a great option!

Did you know that Usborne sells coloring books?

We have coloring books ranging from toddlers to adults! This cute little coloring book is one of my favorites for my kids! The pictures are very simple with bold outlines and encourage young ones in their pencil control and coloring skills.

Also! I just got these crayon rocks from and they are so great! They are easy to grasp for small hands and were designed to help develop tripod grip muscles in young children and to improve their motor coordination. Plus the bag is super handy too! 😍

This coloring book (only 4.99!) and these coloring rocks would make a great Christmas gift or stocking stuffer 🎄🎁

Looking for a fun and easy activity for your kids to do at home?? Check out our Magic Painting books! We have lots of different themes and they only need water and a paintbrush, how easy is that?! These are great as gifts or to have for airplane rides or something easy to take along to grandmas house or even a hotel. I am actually going to be using pages from the Dinosaur book at my kids' birthday party this weekend. There are so many great ways to utilize these books and the kids love them!

Lately I've been seeing some awesome things concerning kids being and I'm loving it-it definitely inspires and encourages me! We are by no means completely screen-free over here, but I do try to really limit my kids time with the TV.

What have been some ways that you have gone screen-free??

I've also heard some great things about the book Glow Kids and I'm thinking about reading it. Have you guys read any books about screens that you would recommend??

This is such a fun book that celebrates imagination, laughter and adventure.

Errol's mom is too busy to tell him a story, so he has to make up his own. At first, he doesn't know how to tell a story, but when he is joined by a surprising collection of characters (even dinosaurs!), a story begins to grow and grow...until it's the BIGGEST story ever!

This week I've been working on establishing some routines with my kiddos. Fall and routines just seem to go together 😆. My plan is to do housework and more directed learning and play in the mornings and then have more of a free afternoon. It's important to me to teach my kids about God and His Word and about working together and to instill a love of God's creation and learning to my kids, so I keep those in mind at I work on creating routines for them.
Some ideas I have:
Weekly craft day
Weekly Bible story focus
Monthly Bible verse
Learning Catechisms
A special worship day
----------------------------------
And some simple activity ideas:
Puzzles
Magic painting
Sensory bins
Magnet blocks
Coloring
Cooking/baking
Imaginary play
Wipe-clean books
Reading
Play dough

Now, we already do a lot of these things, but the idea behind having a routine helps these normal activities to have more of a purpose and function as we use them intentionally.

What's are some of your favorite activities, routine, and and resources for your family?? Comment below! 😊⬇️

Today on stories I will be joining up with to talk about something that I am really passionate about--getting in the Word!
We will be sharing some of the things the Lord has taught us as we are learning to navigate getting in the Word in the midst of motherhood and having littles around. I hope that it will bless you all and be an encouragement! We are so EXCITED to share with you all. Keep an eye out on stories 😊

Did you know that Usborne has a selection of games and puzzles?

Not too long ago I picked up this Under the Sea Matching Game for my kids and just recently Judah and I played it together. It was a really big connection point for him. He's been asking to play with it ever since. A couple of days ago, I played it with Josie and him and then after we played a couple of rounds I read the book that came with it to the kids. The books just gives some basic facts about all the creatures in the game, but again, it was a connection point for Judah. So, last night on our way to church, he was happily reading about all the animals pictured in his game. And I just love these pictures because he was just so content and excited to read his little book and it was because we had made some connections together. Our connection with his game and book made him excited to read his book and to play his game. And that's what it's about. Connecting with our kids and learning and growing together. ♡

This has been our favorite library book that we got!

It is a cute story of how squirrel wakes up to the "moon" sitting on his tree branch one day and how he tries to get rid of it before someone finds him with it and he goes to prison 😂

The illustrations are SO good! My husband was really impressed with them and that's actually why he picked up this book in the first place. We'll be looking for more books by this author. 😊
